Cookie Policy

Updated May 14, 2018

Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies are used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, phones, and other devices. Other technologies, including data we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device, and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies.”

This policy explains how we use cookies.

Cookies help us provide, protect and improve the Dhound.io. While the cookies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the Dhound.io, we use them for the following purposes:

Authentication

We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you’re logged in so we can make it easier for you to access the Dhound.io and show you the appropriate experience and features.
For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between Dhound.io pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you do not have to keep logging into Dhound.io.

Security, site and product integrity

We use cookies to help us keep your account, data and the Dhound.io safe and secure.
For example: Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access a Dhound account without authorization, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event you’ve forgotten your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us your account has been hacked.

We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the Dhound.io.
For example: Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake Dhound accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm.

Analytics and research

We use cookies to better understand how people use the Dhound.io so that we can improve it.
For example: Cookies can help us understand how people use the Dhound.io, analyze which parts of the Dhound.io people find most useful and engaging, and identify features that could be improved.

How can you control Dhound’s use of cookies?
Your browser or device may offer settings that allow you to choose whether browser cookies are set and to delete them.
